Kollabe
6.8Agile meetings made easy — retros, standups and planning poker
Kollabe began life as a planning poker tool and now runs four rituals from one workspace: estimation, sprint retrospectives, async standups and icebreakers. The retro board is deeper than its marketing suggests — drag-to-group with optional AI clustering, dot voting configurable per board or per column, a phase timer with audio alerts, a guided workflow with auto-advance, and action items carrying owner, due date, priority and a link back to the feedback card. Exports run to PDF, CSV, JSON, Markdown, HTML, JPEG and Confluence, with action items pushed to Jira, GitHub or Linear. Billing is flat per team space rather than per seat. There are no recurring retros, no health-check instrument and no compliance certifications.

ScatterSpoke
5.7AI copilot for team feedback
ScatterSpoke was rebuilt from scratch as v3 in August 2026: retro boards, static and agent-run surveys, a Signals engine that detects morale, burnout and psychological-safety patterns in feedback text, and an Ask layer that answers questions with cited evidence. An official OAuth MCP server is included on every tier, including Free.

Kollabe — pros
- + Flat per-space pricing — $29/mo buys unlimited members, so three teams of eight cost $87/mo total
- + Deeper retro board than the marketing implies: drag-to-group plus AI clustering, dot voting per board or per column, a phase timer with audio alerts, and a guided workflow that auto-advances when everyone marks ready
- + Action items carry owner, due date, priority, comments and a link back to the feedback card — and push one-click to Jira, GitHub or Linear
- + Official OAuth MCP server (vendor states 46 tools) and a documented REST API on every paid plan; exports to PDF, CSV, JSON, Markdown, HTML, JPEG and Confluence
- + Unusually playful: synchronised meeting music, AI-generated backgrounds, kudos with confetti, drawings and stickers, and a 1,100-strong themed template library
Kollabe — cons
- − No recurring or scheduled retros — every session is created by hand
- − No health-check instrument: a Spotify-style board template and a handful of 1–5 pulse polls, but no radar, custom model or trend chart. The vendor advertises a 1–10 Team Health Score inside its weekly Team Insights email; the report is generated server-side and we could not verify it
- − Both paid tiers cap a space at <strong>5 facilitators/admins</strong> however many members it has; lifting it means an Enterprise contract
- − Slack is standup-only (no retro summaries or actions to a channel); no Microsoft Teams
- − No SOC 2, ISO 27001 or published GDPR posture, and all data sits in Australia with no EU or US option; SSO and SLAs are Enterprise contact-sales
- − Effectively a one-person company, and the changelog has been silent since 31 May 2026
ScatterSpoke — pros
- + Official MCP server on every tier including Free — OAuth, no API keys to mint; reading results is where the paid line sits
- + Signals engine with fifteen built-in rules and a detect-then-critique pass before anything is recorded
- + Ask names the survey or retro behind every answer, and cross-retro theme trends ship on paid plans
- + Unusually precise public docs — a per-tier entitlement table that names exactly what each plan gates
- + Guest join by verified email or open link, and guests never consume a seat
ScatterSpoke — cons
- − $814/mo for 3 teams of 8 on Business (5 seats included, then $35/seat); Free is a single seat
- − <strong>Action items are no longer part of the v3 retro flow</strong> — the Review phase records outcomes as card comments
- − Manual grouping was removed; clustering is AI-only and board columns are fixed at creation
- − The v3 integration entitlement covers only Slack, Teams and email — no Jira, GitHub or Azure DevOps setup is documented
- − One CSV export from a closed retro; audit logs, data retention and org-wide AI are Enterprise-only
